Altona Vinbar
Possibly our favourite wine bar in town, Altona Vinbar is in an intimate warren of underground rooms that date from the 16th century. With a huge selection of international wines, soft lighting and music that ranges from jazz to rock but never drowns out conversation, it's hard to find fault with this place. If you've had a few glasses, take care with the impossibly low connecting doors!

Bocca
Upstairs from the restaurant of the same name, Bocca draws a chic thirty-something crowd who flock to the open balcony, or snuggle in the dimly lit retro salon. Music is usually lounge, with a DJ from Thursday to Saturday.
-
Calibar
Funky! Calibar is hip in all the right places with stunning lighting and décor that fuses chic modern style with retro flair (it claims to have the oldest floor in Bergen). Upstairs is café and conversation, but downstairs is a sweaty nightclub for a thirty-something crowd drawn by '80s music they can sing along to. You have to be 24 to get in.
-
Capello
An engaging little café-bar that does smoothies, milkshakes, beer and pancakes, Capello is all about '50s and '60s décor and music downstairs (the juke box is filled with Elvis, the Monkeys, the Beatles and Bob Dylan). Upstairs the '70s take over.

Det Lille Kaffe Kompaniet
In the past few years, this place has twice won a nationwide competition for the country's best coffee and two of its waiters are on Norway's national coffee team (kind of like a football team but with espresso machines). It's a lovely little place and it overflows onto the neighbouring stairs when the sun's out.
-
Dromedar Kaffebar
Bergen's coffee aficionados put this place not far behind Det Lille Kompaniet for the city's best coffee.
-
Fincken
Just across the road from Legal, Fincken is one of few gay bars in Bergen.
-
Jacobs Café
Jacobs is a nice café with a beer garden and it draws a predominantly local crowd. There's occasionally live music in the evenings on weekends.
-
Onkel Lauritz
Upstairs in Boha, this is good for a quiet conversation.

Pingvinen
A funky, casual vibe and a friendly young crowd. Late night snacks are good if you get the munchies.
-
To Glass Vinbar
If you're keen not to move too far from the centre, this trendy wine bar, next to the funicular station, gets a classier crowd than most bars on this street.
-
Vågen
This quiet café is where old Norwegian meets Bob Marley, with traditional Norwegian decoration, rustic wooden tables and a chilled vibe helped by occasional Reggae tunes. It's a cool combination and provides a great backdrop to a lazy afternoon.
